Although it was sad to see the Utah Jazz lose assistant coach Igor Kokoskov, you can’t help but feel happy for him receiving a chance to coach at the highest level as the new head coach for the Phoenix Suns. Not only that, but it must have come as a relief to Jazz fans when Igor ultimately didn’t take any of the remaining Jazz coaching staff with him. Instead, the rest of the crew would stay intact in Utah.
With this being the case, initially Jazz assistant coach Antonio Lang was promoted to the front of the bench, essentially filling a hole left by Kokoskov there.
